- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the performance of [-2]proenzyme prostate-specific antigen ([-2]proPSA) and prostate health index (PHI) tumor markers in the differential diagnosis between prostatic diseases and prostate cancer (PCa). The study was conducted to patients scheduled for transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS) of the prostate in Slovenia. Among the data collected in the study are total PSA (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA), and [-2]proPSA.
